Concerning  the  Department  of  Engineering  of  the  State  of  California. 

The  Department  of  Engineering  was  created  by  an  act  of  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  California, 
approved  on  March  11,  1907. 

Section  1  of  the  contract  law  of  the  State  Department  of  Engineering,  approved  June  8,  1915,  pro- 
vides that  "Whenever  provision  is  made  by  law  for  the  erection,  construction,  alteration,  repair  or 
improvement  of  any  State  structure,  building,  road  or  other  State  improvement  of  any  kind,  excepting 
improvements  on  the  property  of  the  State  on  the  water  front  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco 
under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Board  of  State  Harbor  Commissioners,  the  total  cost  of  which  will  exceed 
the  sum  of  $1,000.00,  the  same  shall  be  under  the  sole  charge  and  direct  control  of  the  Department  of 
Engineering." 

Section  11  of  the  Department  of  Engineering  law,  approved  May  19,  1915,  is  in  part  as  follows: 
"All  architectural  work  of  the  Department  shall  be  under  the  charge  of  the  State  Architect.  When, 
however,  it  shall  be  deemed  to  be  for  the  best  interests  of  the  State,  the  Board  of  Control,  with  the 
approval  of  the  Governor,  may  require  and  arrange  for  public  competition,  and  in  all  such  competitions 
the  Board  of  Control  with  the  approval  of  the  Governor  and  with  the  advice  of  the  State  Architect,  may 
prescribe  the  schedule  of  prizes,  the  total  of  which,  exclusive  of  the  fee  of  the  winner,  shall  not  exceed 
one  per  centum  of  the  amount  appropriated  for  any  building.  The  fee  of  the  successful  architect  shall 
not  exceed  six  per  centum  of  the  cost  of  said  building." 

The  Legislature  of  1913  passed  an  act  which  was  approved  by  the  Governor  on  June  7,  1913,  and 
which  provided  for  the  issuance  and  sale  of  State  bonds  to  create  a  fund  for  the  construction,  erection, 
equipment,  completion  and  furnishing  of  a  State  building  or  buildings  upon  a  lot  of  land  in  the  City  and 
County  of  San  Francisco  to  be  used  by  the  offices  and  Departments  of  the  State  which  are  located  in 
said  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  and  provided  for  the  submission  of  this  act  to  the  vote  of  the 
people.  This  act  of  the  Legislature  was  ratified  by  the  people  at  the  general  election  held  in  the  month 
of  November,  A.  D.  1914. 

The  Legislature  of  1913  passed  an  act  which  was  approved  by  the  Governor  on  June  7,  1913,  and 
which  authorized  and  directed  the  Department  of  Engineering  of  the  State  of  California  to  construct, 
erect,  equip  and  furnish  the  necessary  building  or  buildings  upon  a  lot  Of  land  situated  in  the  City  and 
County  of  San  Francisco,  for  the  use  and  occupancy  of  the  offices  and  Departments  of  the  State  govern- 
ment located  in  said  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco,  out  of  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  bonds  to  be 
authorized  by  the  vote  of  the  people.  Section  2  of  this  last  mentioned  act  of  the  Legislature  of  1913 
is  as  follows: 

"The  plan  for  the  construction  of  such  building  or  buildings  shall  be  prepared  by  said  Depart- 
ment of  Engineering  and  before  any  work  of  construction  is  commenced  thereon,  shall  be  sub- 
mitted to  and  approved  by  a  special  Commission,  consisting  of  the  Governor,  the  Attorney  General 
and  the  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court,  which  said  Commission  is  hereby  created  for  such 
purpose." 

The  full  text  of  the  Department  of  Engineering  law  and  of  the  contract  law  of  the  State  Department 
of  Engineering,  together  with  the  amendments  to  these  laws,  also  the  full  text  of  the  two  acts  of  the 
Legislature  of  1913,  above  referred  to,  also  the  architects'  license  law,  are  printed  immediately  following 
this  Program  and  form  an  essential  part  hereof.

. 
The  Board  of  Control,  with  the  approval  of  the  Governor,  by  virtue  of  the  power  vested  in  it  by 

Section  11  of  the  Department  of  Engineering  law,  has  instituted  this  competition. 

The  office  of  the  Board  of  Control  is  in  the  State  Capitol  at  Sacramento,  California. 

As  provided  by  Section  11  of  the  State  Engineering  law,  the  State  Architect  is  architectural  advisor 
to  advise  the  Board  of  Control  in  the  preparation  of  this  Program  and  in  the  conduct  of  this  competition. 

The  office  of  the  State  Architect  is  in  the  Forum  Building,  Sacramento,  California. 

Concerning  the  Nature  of  the  Competition. 

In  conducting  this  competition,  the  State  desires  to  put  before  the  architectural  profession  of  Cali- 
fornia, a  Program  of  conditions  that  will  invite  the  participation  of  the  ablest  members  of  the  profession. 
At  the  same  time  it  is  deemed  necessary  to  safeguard  the  competition  with  certain  restrictions,  to  the 
end  that  no  appointment  as  architect  of  the  San  Francisco  State  Building  will  be  made  of  any  competitor 
until  he  has  demonstrated  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  the  Jury,  composed  as  described  in  Section  34 
hereof,  his  artistic  talent,  his  integrity  and  his  administrative  ability  to  execute  his  design  should  he  be 
selected.  To  effect  this  purpose,  the  competition  is  held  in  two  stages,  the  first  being  for  the  purpose 
of  eliminating  all  but  eight  architects  who  will  be  admitted  to  the  second  stage. 

It  is  the  desire  of  the  Board  of  Control  to  secure  for  the  State  of  California,  the  best  building  that 
can  be  obtained  within  the  appropriation,  considered  from  the  standpoint  of  adaptability,  durability 
and  artistic  qualities;  therefore,  all  certificated  architects  of  the  State  of  California  who  have  had  the 
necessary  experience  are  invited  to  participate  in  this  competition. 

Concerning  the  Site  and  Present  Buildings  on  the  Civic  Center. 

[For  the  sake  of  convenience  and  clearness,  all  paragraphs  that  are  mandatory  in  their  nature 
are  printed  in  black-face  type.  Failure  to  comply  with  all  mandatory  requirements  will  preclude  any 
award  in  favor  of  the  designer  so  failing.] 

One.  The  building  will  be  erected  on  the  Civic  Center  in  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco, 
California. 

Two.  The  San  Francisco  City  Hall  on  the  west  side  of  the  Civic  Center  and  the  Auditorium  on  the 
south  side  are  complete  and  in  use.  The  San  Francisco  Public  Library  is  in  course  of  construction  at 
the  northeast  corner  of  the  Civic  Center.  The  State  Building  is  to  be  erected  on  the  north  side;  the 
main  front  will  face  the  south. 

Three.  A  description  of  the  site  by  metes  and  bounds  is  as  follows:  Beginning  at  the  point  of 
intersection  of  the  northerly  line  of  McAllister  Street  with  the  easterly  line  of  Polk  Street  and  running 
thence  northerly  along  said  easterly  line  of  Polk  Street  one  hundred  and  twenty  feet  (120'  0")  to  the 
point  of  intersection  of  said  easterly  line  of  Polk  Street  with  the  southerly  line  of  Eedwood  Street  (for- 
merly Locust  Avenue) ;  and  thence  at  a  right  angle  easterly  and  along  said  southerly  line  of  Redwood 
Street  four  hundred  and  twelve  feet  and  six  inches  (412'  6")  to  the  point  of  intersection  of  said 
southerly  line  of  Eedwood  Street  with  the  westerly  line  of  Larkin  Street ;  and  thence  at  a  right  angle 
southerly  and  along  said  westerly  line  of  Larkin  Street  one  hundred  and  twenty  feet  (120'  0")  to  the 
point  of  intersection  of  said  westerly  line  of  Larkin  Street  with  the  northerly  line  of  McAllister  Street ; 
and  thence  at  a  right  angle  westerly  and  along  said  northerly  line  of  McAllister  Street  four  hundred 
and  twelve  feet  and  six  inches  (412'  6")  to  said  point  of  intersection  of  said  northerly  line  of  McAllister 
Street  with  the  easterly  line  of  Polk  Street,  being  the  point  of  commencement. 


Four.  The  plot  plan  of  the  Civic  Center,  a  bird's-eye  view  of  the  completed  Civic  Center  as  proposed,

Auditorium  and  the  third  being  of  the  Public  Library  in  course  of  construction,  also  sectional 
drawings  showing  the  fronts  of  these  three  buildings,  all  of  which  accompany  this  Program,  form  an 
essential  part  hereof.  The  City  Hall,  the  Auditorium  and  the  Public  Library  are  faced  on  the  exterior 
with  California  granite. 

Five.  It  is  mandatory  that  the  design  of  the  State  Building  shall  be  in  harmony  with  the  three 
monumental  buildings  already  constructed  or  in  course  of  construction  on  the  Civic  Center,  as  above 
described;  the  height  above  grade  of  the  cornice  of  the  State  Building  must  be  about  seventy  feet  (70'  0"), 
which  is  practically  the  height  of  the  cornices  on  the  City  Hall,  the  Auditorium  and  the  Library. 

Six.     Competitors  who  can  conveniently  do  so,  should  personally  view  the  Civic  Center. 

Concerning  the  General  Conditions  of  the  Competition. 

Seven.  If  an  association  with  another  architect  or  firm  of  architects  is  contemplated,  said  associa- 
tion must  be  formed  before  plans  are  submitted  and  must  continue  until  the  completion  of  the  building 
should  the  competitor  become  the  winner  of  first  place  in  this  competition. 

Eight.  Should  any  design  submitted  contain  an  original  feature  not  contained  in  the  drawings  of 
any  other  competitor,  such  original  feature  will  not  be  adopted  or  made  use  of  in  any  way  except  with 
the  author's  full  consent. 

Nine.  Should  any  inquiries  for  further  information  concerning  the  conditions  of  the  Program  be 
found  necessary  by  any  competitor,  such  inquiries  must  in  every  case  be  made  by  letter  sent  through  the 
mails  to  the  State  Architect,  Forum  Building,  Sacramento,  California,  and  in  no  other  way.  These 
inquiries  may  be  anonymous.  All  such  inquiries  with  their  answers  will  be  copied  and  simultaneously 
sent  to  all  competitors  by  the  State  Architect.  "With  reference  to  the  first  stage,  no  inquiry  bearing  a 
postmark  later  than  October  15,  1916,  will  be  answered;  with  reference  to  the  second  stage,  no  inquiry 
bearing  a  postmark  later  than  January  15,  1917,  will  be  answered.  No  information  will  be  given  in  any 
other  manner  by  the  Board  of  Control  or  any  memb  er  thereof,  or  by  the  Secretary,  or  by  any  member  of 
the  Jury  or  by  the  State  Architect,  or  by  any  of  his  confidential  assistants. 

Ten.  Any  competitor  who  shall  seek  in  any  way,  directly  or  indirectly,  to  influence  in  his  favor 
any  of  those  in  control  of  this  competition,  shall  forfeit  all  privileges  and  rights  under  this  Program. 

Eleven.  The  building  shall  be  of  skeleton  steel  frame  construction,  fire-resisting,  according  to  the 
very  best  practice.  All  material  shall  be  of  the  very  best  quality;  the  exterior  of  the  building  shall  be 
faced  on  the  McAllister  Street  front  and  on  at  least  suitable  returns  on  the  Polk  and  Larkin  Street 
fronts  with  California  granite;  and  preference  shall  be  given  to  California  material  and  also  to  Cali- 
fornia labor,  where  same  of  suitable  character  can  be  obtained  at  reasonable  market  prices. 

Twelve.  For  the  purposes  of  this  competition,  fifty  cents  per  cubic  foot  has  been  determined  upon  to 
cover  the  cost  of  the  construction. 

Thirteen.  For  the  purposes  of  this  competition,  the  San  Francisco  State  Building  is  not  to  exceed 
in  cubical  contents,  1,800,000  cubic  feet.  The  cubage  shall  be  computed  as  carefully  as  possible,  showing 
the  actual  volume  of  the  building  calculated  from  the  finished  level  or  levels  of  the  lowest  floor  to  the 
mid-height  of  the  roofs,  if  sloping,  and  to  the  highest  points  of  the  roofs,  if  flat  and  contained  within 
the  outside  surfaces  of  the  walls.  Pilasters,  cornices,  balconies  and  other  similar  projections  shall  not 
be  included.  Porticos  with  engaged  columns  and  similar  projections  shall  be  taken  as  solids  and  figured 


to  the  outer  face  of  the  column.  When  columns  are  free  standing,  one-half  of  the  volume  of  the 
porticos  shall  be  taken.  There  shall  also  be  included  in  the  cubage,  the  actual  volume  of  all  parapets, 
dormers,  vaults  and  other  features  adding  to  the  bulk  of  the  building,  also  the  actual  volume  of  exterior 
steps  above  grade.  Light  wells  of  an  area  of  less  than  400  square  feet  shall  not  be  deducted. 

Fourteen.  In  calculating  cubage,  account  shall  be  taken  of  the  variation  in  the  exterior  wall  surface, 
as  for  example,  the  projection  of  a  basement  story  beyond  the  general  line  of  the  building. 

Fifteen.  Any  excess  of  cubical  contents  above  1, 800,000  cubic  feet,  calculated  as  above  stated,  will 
place  the  author  of  the  design  out  of  the  competition. 

Sixteen.  The  heating  plant  is  already  installed  in  a  detached  building  and  shall  not  be  provided  for 
in  the  State  Building. 

Seventeen.    The  relation  of  the  building  to  the  boundary  lines  of  the  site  is  left  to  the  competitors.

taken  unless  at  least  two  architects,  members  of  the  Jury,  are  present,  and  no  verdict  of  the  Jury  can 
be  had  except  by  a  majority  vote  of  those  present. 

Sixty-seven.  After  the  Jury  has  made  its  selection,  as  provided  in  section  sixty-six,  it  will  call  upon 
the  secretary  of  the  Board  of  Control  to  deliver  to  it  the  sealed  envelope  which  bears  the  number  corre- 
sponding to  the  number  on  the  designs  and  plans  as  selected  and  will  recommend  the  author  of  such 
designs  and  plans  as  the  winner  of  the  competition.

Professional  Practice 
of  Architects 


Schedule  of  Proper 
Minimum  Charges 


1.  The  Architect's  professional  services  consist  of 
the  necessary  conferences,  the  preparation  of  prelimi- 
nary studies,  working  drawings,  specifications,  large 
scale  and  full  size  detail  drawings,  and  of  the  general 
direction  and  supervision  of  the  work,  for  which,  ex- 
cept as  hereinafter  mentioned,  the  minimum  charge 
based  upon  the  total  cost*  of  the  work  complete,  is 
six  per  cent. 

2.  On    residential    work,    alterations    to    existing 
buildings,    monuments,    furniture,    decorative    and 
cabinet  work  and  landscape  architecture,  it  is  proper 
to  make  a  higher  charge  than  above  indicated. 

3.  The  Architect  is  entitled  to  compensation  for 
articles  purchased  under  his  direction,  even  though 
not  designed  by  him. 

4.  If  an  operation  is  conducted  under  separate  con- 
tracts, rather  than  under  a  general  contract,  it  is 
proper  to  charge  a  special  fee  in  addition  to  the 
charges  mentioned  elsewhere  in  this  schedule. 

5.  Where  the  Architect  is  not  otherwise  retained, 
consultation  fees  for  professional  advice  are  to  be 
paid  in  proportion  to  the  importance  of  the  question 
involved  and  services  rendered. 

6.  Where  heating,  ventilating,  mechanical,  struc- 
tural, electrical  and  sanitary  problems  are  of  such  a 
nature  as  to  require  the  services  of  a  specialist,  the 
Owner  is  to  pay  for  such  services.     Chemical  and 
mechanical  tests  and  surveys,  when  required,  are  to 
be  paid  for  by  the  Owner. 

7.  Necessary  traveling  expenses  are  to  be  paid  by 
the  Owner. 

8.  If,  after  a  definite  scheme  has  been  approved, 
changes  in  drawings,  specifications  or  other  docu- 
ments are  required  by  the  Owner;  or  if  the  Architect 
be  put  to  extra  labor  or  expense  by  the  delinquency 
or  insolvency  of  a  contractor,  the  Architect  shall  be 
paid  for  such  additional  services  and  expense. 


9.  Payments  to  the  Architect  are  due  as  his  work 
.progresses  in  the  following  order:  Upon  completion 
of  the  preliminary  studies,  one-fifth  of  the  entire  fee; 
upon  completion  of  specifications  and  general  work- 
ing drawings  (exclusive  of  details),  two-fifths  addi- 
tional, the  remainder  being  due  from  time  to  time 
in   proportion  to  the   amount  of  service  rendered. 
Until   an   actual   estimate  is   received,   charges   are 
based  upon  the  proposed  cost  of  the  work  and  pay- 
jments  received  are  on  account  of  the  entire  fee. 

10.  In  case  of  the  abandonment  or  suspension  of 
the  work,  the  basis  of  settlement  is  to  be  as  follows: 
For  preliminary  studies,  a  fee  in  accordance  with  the 
character  and  magnitude  of  the  work;  for  preliminary 
studies,  specifications  and  general  working  drawings 
(exclusive  of  details),  three-fifths  of  the  fee  for  com- 
plete services. 

n.  The  supervision  of  an  Architect  (as  distin- 
guished from  the  continuous  personal  superintend- 
ence which  may  be  secured  by  the  employment  of  a 
clerk  of  the  works  or  superintendent  of  construction) 
means  such  inspection  by  the  Architect  or  his  deputy 
of  work  in  studios  and  shops  or  a  building  or  other 
work  in  process  of  erection,  completion  or  alteration, 
as  he  finds  necessary  to  ascertain  whether  it  is  being 
executed  in  general  conformity  with  his  drawings  and 
specifications  or  directions.  He  has  authority  to 
reject  any  part  of  the  work  which  does  not  so  con- 
form and  to  order  its  removal  and  reconstruction. 
He  has  authority  to  act  in  emergencies  that  may  arise 
in  the  course  of  construction,  to  order  necessary 
changes,  and  to  define  the  intent  and  meaning  of  the 
drawings  and  specifications.  On  operations  where 
a  clerk  of  the  works  or  superintendent  of  construc- 
tion is  required,  the  Architect  shall  employ  such 
assistance  at  the  Owner's  expense. 

12.  Drawings  and  specifications,  as  instruments  of 
service,  are  the  property  of  the  Architect. 


*The  total  cost  is  to  be  interpreted  as  the  cost  of  all  materials  and  labor  necessary  to  complete  the  work,  plus  contractors'  profits  and  expenses,  as 
such  cost  would  be  if  all  materials  were  new  and  all  labor  fully  paid,  at  market  prices  current  when  the  work  was  ordered.

CHAPTER  541. 

An  act  to  provide  for  the  issuance  and  sale  of  state  bonds  to 
create  a  fund  for  the  construction,  erection,  equipment, 
completion  and  furnishing  of  a  state  building  or  build-

thousand  dollars  for  the  printing  and  sale  of  said  bonds; 
and  providing  for  the  submission  of  this  act  to  the  vote

[Approved  June  7,  1913.] 
The  people  of  the  State  of  California  do  enact  as  follows: 

SECTION  1.  For  the  purpose  of  providing  a  fund  for  the 
payment  of  the  indebtedness  authorized  to  be  incurred  by 
the  commission  for  the  construction,  erection,  equipment, 
completion  and  furnishing  of  a  state  building  or  buildings  in 
the  city  and  county  of  San  Francisco  as  provided  in  an  act 
entitled  "An  act  to  provide  for  the  construction,  erection, 
equipment  and  furnishing  of  a  building  or  buildings  in  the 
city  and  county  of  San  Francisco  and  for  the  improvement 
of  the  grounds  thereof  for  the  use  and  occupancy  of  the 
officers  and  departments  of  the  state  government  of  the  State 
of  California  located  in  said  city  and  county  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, and  repealing  other  acts  in  conflict  herewith,"  the  state 
treasurer  shall,  immediately  after  the  issuance  of  the  proc- 
lamation of  the  governor,  provided  for  in  section  ten  hereof, 
prepare  one  thousand  suitable  bonds  of  the  State  of  Cali- 
fornia in  the  denomination  of  one  thousand  dollars  each,  to 
be  numbered  from  one  to  one  thousand,  inclusive,  and  to  bear 
the  date  of  the  second  day  of  July,  1915 ;  the  whole  issue  of 
said  bonds  shall  not  exceed  the  sum  of  one  million  dollars 
and  the  said  bonds  shall  bear  interest  at  the  rate  of  four  per 
cent  per  annum  from  the  time  of  the  issuance  thereof,  and 
both  principal  and  interest  shall  be  payable  in  gold  coin  of 
the  present  standard  value  and  they  shall  be  payable  at  the 
office  of  the  state  treasurer  at  the  times  and  in  the  manner 
following,  to  wit :  The  first  twenty  of  said  bonds  shall  be  due 
and  payable  on  the  second  day  of  July,  1916,  and  twenty  of 
said  bonds,  in  consecutive  numerical  order,  shall  be  due  and 
payable  on  the  second  day  of  July  in  each  and  every  year 
thereafter  until  and  including  the  second  day  of  July,  1965. 
The  interest  accruing  on  such  of  said  bonds  as  are  sold  shall 
be  due  and  payable  at  the  office  of  the  state  treasurer  on  the 
second  day  of  January  and  on  the  second  day  of  July  of  each 
year  after  the  sale  of  the  same ;  provided,  that  the  first  pay- 
ment of  interest  shall  be  made  on  the  second  day  of  January, 
1916,  on  so  many  of  said  bonds  as  may  have  been  theretofore 
sold.  The  state  treasurer  shall,  on  the  second  day  of  July, 
A.  D.  1965,  call  in,  cancel  and  destroy  all  bonds  not  thereto- 
fore sold  and  issued  at  the  date  of  the  maturity  thereof.  All 
bonds  issued  shall  be  signed  by  the  governor  and  counter- 
signed by  the  state  controller  and  shall  be  endorsed  by  the 
state  treasurer  and  the  said  bonds  shall  be  so  signed,  counter- 
signed and  endorsed  by  the  officers  who  are  in  office  on  the 


second  day  of  July,  1915,  and  each  shall  have  the  seal  of  the 
State  of  California  stamped  thereon.  The  said  bonds  so 
signed,  countersigned,  endorsed  and  sealed,  as  herein  pro- 
vided for,  when  sold,  shall  be  and  constitute  a  valid  and 
binding  obligation  upon  the  State  of  California,  though  the 
sale  thereof  be  made  at  a  date  or  dates  after  the  persons  so 
signing,  countersigning  or  endorsing,  or  any  of  them,  shall 
cease  to  be  the  incumbents  of  said  office  or  offices. 

SEC.  2.  Interest  coupons  shall  be  attached  to  each  of  said 
bonds  so  that  such  coupons  may  be  detached  without  injury 
to  or  mutilation  of  the  bond.  Said  coupons  shall  be  consecu- 
tively numbered,  and  shall  be  signed  by  the  state  treasurer. 
But  no  interest  on  any  of  said  bonds  shall  be  paid  for  any 
time  which  may  intervene  between  the  date  of  any  of  said 
bonds,  and  the  issue  and  sale  thereof  to  a  purchaser. 

SEC.  3.  The  sum  of  one  thousand  dollars  is  hereby  appro- 
priated to  pay  the  expenses  that  may  be  incurred  by  the 
state  treasurer  in  the  printing  and  sale  of  said  bonds.  Said 
amount  shall  be  paid  out  of  the  general  fund  on  the  state 
controller's  warrants  duly  drawn  for  that  purpose. 

SEC.  4.  When  the  bonds  authorized  to  be  issued  under 
this  act  shall  be  duly  executed,  they  shall  be  sold  by  the 
state  treasurer  at  public  auction  to  the  highest  bidder  for 
cash,  in  such  parcels  and  numbers  as  said  state  treasurer 
shall  determine ;  but  said  treasurer  must  reject  any  and  all 
bids  for  said  bonds  or  for  any  of  them,  which  shall  be  below 
the  par  value  of  said  bonds  so  offered  for  sale,  and  he  may 
by  public  announcement  at  the  place  and  time  fixed  for  the 
sale,  for  good  and  sufficient  cause,  continue  such  sale  as  to

trustees  of  the  various  state  institutions  requiring  engineer- 
ing or  structural  work,  and  with  any  state  commission 


regarding  all  works  wherein  such  commission  may  be  inter- 
ested. The  advisory  board  shall  approve  all  plans  and  speci- 
fications for  all  public  work  and  shall  determine  the  kind, 
quality  and  extent  of  all  public  work  of  the  state.  All  boards 
of  managers,  trustees  and  state  commissions  of  state  institu- 
tions shall  apply  to  the  department  of  engineering  for  plans

of  the  plans,  specifications  and  estimates  by  the  advisory 
board  of  the  department  of  engineering,  if,  in  the  opinion  of 
such  department  of  engineering,  the  acceptance  of  any  bid  or 
bids  shall  not  be  for  the  best  interests  of  the  state,  or  if  in 
the  opinion  of  such  department  of  engineering  the  acceptance 
of  any  further  bids  after  the  rejection  of  all  bids  submitted 
shall  not  be  for  the  best  interests  of  the  state,  it  may  be 
legal  for  them  to  direct  that  the  work  or  improvement  of  any 
state  building,  road  or  any  other  improvement  be  done  upon 
a  day's  labor  basis.  Whenever  any  public  work  to  be  done 
by  the  state  except  work  on  property  of  the  state  on  the 
water  front  of  the  city  and  county  of  San  Francisco  under 
the  jurisdiction  of  the  board  of  state  harbor  commissioners  is 
placed  upon  a  day's  labor  basis,  it  is  especially  exempted 
from  any  law  on  or  relating  to  contracts  of  the  state.  The 
full  control  of  such  day's  labor  work  is  placed  under  the 
department  of  engineering  and  said  department  shall  do  all 
things  necessary  to  properly  carry  out  the  work.  When  such 
work  is  so  placed  upon  a  day's  labor  basis,  any  appropriation 
which  is  now  available  or  which  is  now  or  may  be  appro- 
priated to  become  available,  is  by  this  act  taken  out  of  the 
control  of  any  board  of  trustees,  directors,  commissioners, 
officers  or  other  body  to  whom  it  has  been  appropriated,  and 
placed  exclusively  under  the  control  of  the  department  of 
engineering,  and  the  claims  for  said  work  shall  be  approved 
by  the  department  of  engineering,  and  audited  by  the  board 
of  examiners,  upon  whose  audit  the  controller  shall  draw  his 
warrant  and  the  treasurer  shall  pay  the  same.  The  depart- 
ment of  engineering  shall  have  power  to  receive  informal  bids 
upon  any  subdivision  of  the  day's  labor  work  and  the  state 
engineer  may  upon  the  approval  of  the  advisory  board  enter 
into  an  agreement  for  any  such  subdivisional  work  of  the 
day's  labor  work.

CONTRACT  LAW  OF  STATE  DEPARTMENT 
OF  ENGINEERING. 

An  act  to  regulate  contracts  on  behalf  of  the  state  in  relation 
to  the  erection,  construction,  alteration,  repair  or 
improvement  of  any  state  structure,  building,  road,  or 
other  state  improvement  of  any  kind,  and  to  repeal  an 
act  entitled,  "An  act  to  regulate  contracts  on  behalf  of 
the  state  in  relation  to  erections  and  buildings," 
approved  March  28,  1876,  approved  March  22,  1909, 
approved  June  14,  1913,  approved  June  8,  1915. 

SECTION  1.  Whenever  provision  is  made  by  law  for  the 
erection,  construction,  alteration,  repair  or  improvement  of 
any  state  structure,  building,  road,  or  other  state  improve- 


ment of  any  kind  excepting  improvements  on  the  property  of 
the  state  on  the  water  front  of  the  city  and  county  of  San 
Francisco  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  board  of  state  harbor 
commissioners,  the  total  cost  of  which  will  exceed  the  sum  of 
one  thousand  dollars,  the  same  shall  be  under  the  sole  charge 
and  direct  control  of  the  department  of  engineering.  Said 
department,  before  entering  into  any  contract  for  the  erec- 
tion, construction,  alteration,  repair  or  improvement  of  any 
state  structure,  building,  road,  or  other  state  improvement  of 
any  kind,  shall  prepare  full,  complete  and  accurate  plans  and 
specifications  and  estimates  of  cost,  giving  such  directions  for 
the  same  as  will  enable  any  competent  mechanic  or  other 
builder  to  carry  them  out.  The  plans,  specifications  and 
estimates  of  cost  must  be  approved  by  the  advisory  board  of 
the  department  of  engineering  and  the  original  draft  thereof 
filed  permanently  in  the  office  of  the  department  of  engineer- 
ing before  further  action  is  taken. 

(Appioved  June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915,  p.  1306.) 

SEC.  2.  Said  department  of  engineering  shall  after  the 
approval  and  filing  of  plans,  specifications  and  estimates  of 
cost,  as  in  this  act  required,  let  such  work  by  contract  to  the 
lowest  responsible  bidder  or  bidders  upon  public  notice  which 
shall  be  given  as  follows :  Notice  of  such  work  must  be  pub- 
lished once  a  week  for  three  consecutive  weeks  next  pre- 
ceding the  day  set  for  the  receiving  of  bids  in  two  trade 
papers  of  general  circulation,  one  published  in  Los  Angeles 
and  one  in  San  Francisco,  devoted  primarily  to  the  dissem- 
ination of  contract  and  building  news  among  contracting  and 
building  material  supply  firms ;  provided,  that  if  the  work 
comes  within  the  immediate  supervision  of  the  state  engineer, 
in  the  record  kept  for  that  purpose  the  state  engineer  shall 
register  any  one  desiring  to  be  so  registered  for  the  purpose 
of  becoming  a  prospective  bidder  upon  state  work,  which 
registration  shall  be  renewed  on  or  before  the  beginning  of 
each  fiscal  year,  and  whenever  any  state  work  is  to  be  let 
by  contract  the  state  engineer  shall  cause  a  notice  of  the 
same  to  be  mailed  to  each  of  the  addresses  so  registered  at 
least  twenty-five  days  prior  to  the  date  set  for  the  receiving 
of  bids.  In  each  case  such  notice  must  state  the  time  and 
place  for  the  receiving  and  opening  of  sealed  bids  and  must 
also  state  that  the  bids  will  be  required  for  the  entire  work 
and  also,  when  advisable,  for  the  performance  of  segregate 
parts  of  the  entire  work,  such  segregation  to  be  determined 
by  the  department  of  engineering  and  designated  in  such 
notice. 

(Approved  June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915,  p.  1306.) 

SEC.  3.  On  the  day  named  in  said  public  notice  the 
department  of  engineering  shall  proceed  to  publicly  open  said 
sealed  bids,  and  shall  award  such  contract  or  contracts  to  the 
lowest  responsible  bidder  or  bidders.  All  bids  shall  be  pre- 
sented under  sealed  cover  and  shall  be  accompanied  by  cash, 
a  bidder's  bond,  or  a  certified  check  made  payable  to  the  state 
engineer,  for  an  amount  equal  to  at  least  ten  per  cent  of  the 
amount  of  said  bid  and  no  bid  shall  be  considered  unless  such 
cash,  bond  or  check  is  enclosed  therewith.  Should  the  suc- 
cessful bidder  to  whom  the  contract  is  awarded  fail  to  execute 
the  same,  such  cash,  bond  or  check  shall  be  forfeited  to  the 
State  of  California  and  the  same  shall  be  the  property  of 
the  state.  All  other  cash,  bonds  and  certified  checks  shall 
within  ten  days  after  the  date  of  the  award  of  said  contract, 
be  returned  to  the  unsuccessful  bidders  who  submitted  the 
same.  Such  contract  or  contracts  shall  not  be  binding  on 
the  state  until  they  are  submitted  to  the  attorney  general  and 
by  him  found  to  be  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  this 
act,  and  his  certificate  thereon  to  that  effect  made.  If  in  the 
opinion  of  such  department  of  engineering  the  acceptance  of 
the  lowest  responsible  bid  or  bids  shall  not  be  for  the  best 


Interests  of  the  state,  it  may  be  lawful  for  them  to  reject  all 
bids  and  advertise  for  others  in  the  manner  aforesaid.  But 
after  the  approval  of  the  plans,  specifications  and  estimates 
of  costs  by  the  advisory  board  of  the  department  of  engineer- 
ing, if,  in  the  opinion  of  such  department  of  engineering  the 
acceptance  of  any  bid  or  bids  shall  not  be  for  the  best  interests 
of  the  state,  or  if  in  the  opinion  of  such  department  of  engi- 
neering the  acceptance  of  any  further  bids  after  the  rejection 
of  all  bids  submitted  shall  not  be  for  the  best  interests  of  the 
state,  it  may  be  legal  for  them  to  direct  that  the  erection, 
construction,  alteration,  repair,  or  improvement  of  any  state 
structure,  building,  road,  or  other  state  'improvement  of  any 
kind,  except  as  provided  in  section  one  of  this  act,  shall  be 
done  by  day's  labor,  under  the  direction  and  control  of  the 
department  of  engineering.  Upon  the  approval  of  the 
advisory  board,  the  state  engineer  or  other  duly  authorized 
officers  of  the  department  of  engineering  may,  when  proceed- 
ing upon  the  basis  of  day's  labor,  let  any  subdivision  or  unit 
of  said  work  by  contract  upon  informal  bids.  All  contracts 
shall  provide  that  such  department  of  engineering  may,  as 
hereinafter  provided,  and  on  the  conditions  stated,  make  any 
change  in  the  plans  and  specifications.  Certified  copies  of 
such  contracts  shall  be  filed  with  the  controller  and  the  board 
of  examiners. 

(Approved  June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915,  p.  1306.) 

SEC.  4.  After  the  contract  or  contracts  are  let  no  change 
shall  be  made  to  increase  or  diminish  the  cost  of  any  contract 
in  excess  of  five  hundred  dollars,  except  upon  the  approval 
of  the  advisory  board  of  the  department  of  engineering,  and 
then  only  upon  additional  plans  and  specifications  and  esti- 
mates of  cost  being  filed  and  approved,  and  amended  con- 
tracts entered  into  and  filed  with  the  original  contract.  This 
section  shall  not  be  construed,  in  state  road  or  highway 
work,  to  prevent  the  receipt  of  bids  or  the  making  of  a  con- 
tract upon  a  unit  basis,  that  is,  the  bids  compared  upon  the 
basis  of  the  estimates  of  quantities  of  the  work  to  be  done, 
nor  the  increase  or  decrease  of  such  quantities  during  the 
progress  of  the  work  by  the  department  of  engineering  as 
may  be  deemed  expedient  by  such  department,  nor  the  inser- 
tion of  provisions  in  the  contract  for  the  performance  of  such 
extra  work  and  the  furnishing  of  such  materials  therefor  by 
the  contractor  as  may  be  required  by  such  department  for 
the  proper  completion  or  construction  of  the  whole  work  con- 
templated ;  provided,  that  the  bidders  shall  have  had  equal 
opportunity  of  knowing  what  the  terms  proposed  by  the 
department  of  engineering  for  the  performance  of  such  extra 
work  shall  be. 

(Approved  June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915,  p.  1306.) 

SEC.  5.  Except  in  unit  basis  contracts  in  state  road  or 
highway  work,  no  contract  or  contracts  shall  be  made  exceed- 
ing in  amount  the  estimates  of  costs  approved  by  the  advisory 
board  of  the  department  of  engineering  and  no  plans  and 
specifications  and  estimates  of  cost  including  expense  of 
advertising  and  inspection,  shall  be  approved  by  said  board 
requiring  a  greater  expenditure  of  money  than  is  appropriated 
for  the  specific  purpose  in  the  act  authorizing  the  same. 
(Approved  June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915,  p.  1306.) 

SEC.  6.  Payments  upon  contract  shall  be  made  as  the 
department  of  engineering  may  prescribe  upon  estimates 
made  and  approved  by  the  said  department  and  audited  by 
the  board  of  examiners,  but  no  payment  shall  be  made  in 
excess  of  ninety  per  cent  of  the  percentage  of  actual  work 
completed,  to  which  has  been  added  one-half  of  the  value  of 
material  delivered  on  the  ground  and  unused.  The  depart- 
ment of  engineering  shall  withhold  not  less  than  ten  per  cent 
of  the  contract  price  until  final  completion  and  acceptance  of 


the  work.  The  controller  shall  draw  his  warrants  upon  esti- 
mates so  made  and  approved  by  the  department  of  engineer- 
ing and  audited  by  the  board  of  examiners  and  the  state 
treasurer  shall  pay  the  same. 

(Approved  March  22,  1909,  Statutes  1909,  p.  656.) 

SEC.  7.  Any  member  of  the  advisory  board  or  persons 
employed  under  the  department  of  engineering  who  shall 
knowingly  perform  any  official  act  to  the  injury  of  the  state, 
or  any  contractor  or  his  agent  or  employee  who  shall  know- 
ingly permit  the  violation  of  the  contract  of  such  contractor 
to  the  injury  of  the  state,  or  any  agent  or  employee  of  any 
contractor  who  shall  have  knowledge  of  any  work  being  done 
in  violation  of  contract  and  does  not  immediately  notify  the 
department  of  engineering  or  the  inspector  upon  said  work 
in  regard  to  the  same  is  guilty  of  a  felony  and,  upon  convic- 
tion thereof,  shall  be  confined  in  the  state  prison  for  not  less 
than  one  year  nor  more  than  five  years,  and  be  liable  to  the 
state  for  double  the  amount  the  state  may  have  lost,  or  be 
liable  to  lose  by  reason  thereof. 

(Approved  March  22,  1909,  Statutes  1909,  p.  656.) 

SEC.  8.  Whenever,  in  the  opinion  of  the  department  of 
engineering,  the  work  under  any  contract  made  in  pursuance 
of  this  act,  is  neglected  by  the  contractor  or  contractors,  or 
the  same  is  not  prosecuted  with  diligence  and  force  specified 
or  intended  in  and  by  the  terms  of  the  contract,  it  shall  be 
lawful  for  such  department  of  engineering  to  make  a  requi- 
sition upon  such  contractor  or  contractors  for  such  additional 
specific  force,  or  for  such  additional  specific  material,  to  be 
brought  into  the  work  under  such  contract,  or  to  remove 
improper  materials  from  the  grounds ;  of  which  action  of 
said  department  of  engineering  due  notice  in  writing  of  not 
less  than  five  days,  shall  be  served  upon  such  contractor,  or 
his  or  their  agent  having  charge  of  the  work.  Such  written 
notice  may  be  served  by  personally  delivering  such  notice  to 
such  contractor,  or  his  agent  having  charge  of  the  work,  or 
by  registered  mail  directed  to  such  contractor  or  agent  (the 
period  of  five  days  to  run  from  the  date  of  registration  in 
the  United  States  post  office),  or  when  such  contractor  or 
his  agent  has  left  the  state  or  his  address  is  unknown,  by 
posting  such  notice  in  a  conspicuous  place  upon  the  premises 
of  work.  If  such  contractor  or  contractors  fail  to  comply 
with  such  requisition  within  five  days,  it  shall  be  lawful  for 
said  department  of  engineering  to  employ  upon  such  work 
the  additional  force,  or  supply  the  materials  so  specifically 
required  as  aforesaid,  or  such  part  of  either  as  they  may 
deem  proper,  and  to  remove  improper  materials  from  the 
grounds ;  and  it  shall  be  tlje  duty  of  such  department  of 
engineering  to  make  separate  estimates  of  all  such  additional 
force  or  materials  so  employed  or  supplied  as  aforesaid,  and 
the  amount  so  estimated  shall  be  charged  against  said  con- 
tractor or  contractors,  and  deducted  from  his  or  their  next, 
or  any  subsequent,  estimate ;  or  the  same,  or  any  part  thereof 
not  paid  as  aforesaid,  may  be  recovered  by  action  from  such 
contractor  or  contractors  and  their  sureties. 

(Approved  June  8,  1915,  Statutes  1915,  p.  1306.) 

SEC.  9.  In  all  contracts  made  under  the  provisions  of 
this  act,  there  shall  be  a  provision  in  regard  to  the  time  when 
the  whole,  or  any  specified  portion,  of  the  work  contemplated 
in  said  contract  shall  be  completed,  and  also  providing  that 
for  each  and  every  day  the  same  shall  be  delayed  beyond  such 
time  or  times  so  named,  the  said  contractor  or  contractors 
shall  forfeit  and  pay  to  the  state  a  sum  of  money,  to  be  fixed 
and  determined  in  said  contract,  to  be  deducted  from  any 
payment  or  payments  due,  or  to  become  due,  to  said  con- 
tractor or  contractors ;  provided,  however,  that  the  depart- 
ment of  engineering  may,  in  its  discretion,  grant  such  exten- 


sions  of  time  as  it  may  deem  expedient  and  for  the  best 
interests  of  the  state.  Any  such  contract  shall  provide  for 
the  filing  of  a  sufficient  bond  by  the  contractor  to  secure  the 
payment  of  the  claims  of  material  men,  mechanics,  or  laborers 
employed  upon  state  work ;  a  penalty  of  ten  dollars  per  day 
to  be  forfeited  to  the  state  for  each  calendar  day  during 
which  any  laborer,  workman,  or  mechanic  is  employed  or 
permitted  to  labor  more  than  eight  hours;  a  minimum  com- 
pensation of  not  less  than  two  dollars  per  day  for  labor ; 
that  no  Chinese  or  Mongolian  labor  shall  be  employed  and 
such  other  provisions  as  are  now  or  may  hereafter  be  pro- 
vided by  law.

elect  officers  as  in  this  act  provided  for,  and  formulate  and 
adopt  a  code  of  rules  and  regulations  for  its  government  in 
the   examination   of   applicants   for   certificates   to   practice 
architecture  in  this  state ;  and  such  other  rules  and  regula- 
tions as  may  be  necessary  and  proper,  not  inconsistent  with 
this  act.     The  board  may  from  time  to  time  repeal  or  modify 
its  rules  and  regulations,  not  inconsistent  with  this  act.     The 
state  board  shall  meet  annually,  on  the  second  Tuesday  in 


April,  for  the  purpose  of  transacting  such  business  as  may 
lawfully  come  before  it,  not  inconsistent  with  this  act.  The 
district  boards  shall  hold  their  regular  meetings  for  the  exam- 
ination of  applicants  for  certificates  to  practice  architecture, 
on  the  last  Tuesday  of  January,  April,'  July  and  October  of

to  practice  architecture,  upon  payment,  to  the  district  board 
when  he  makes  application,  of  a  fee  of  fifteen  dollars,  which 
fee  shall  be  retained  by  the  board ;  should  the  applicant  pass 
a  satisfactory  examination  by  said  district  board,  the  secre- 
tary shall,  upon  the  payment  to  him  of  a  further  fee  of  five 
dollars,  issue  to  the  applicant  a  certificate,  signed  by  the 
president  and  secretary,  sealed  with  the  seal  of  the  district 
board,  and  directed  to  the  secretary  of  state,  setting  forth  the 
fact  that  the  person  therein  named  has  passed  a  satisfactory 
examination,  and  that  such  person  is  entitled  to  a  certificate 
to  practice  architecture  in  this  state,  in  accordance  with  the 
provisions  of  this  act ;  and  upon  the  payment  to  the  secretary 
of  state  of  a  fee  of  five  dollars,  the  secretary  shall  at  once 
issue  to  the  person  therein  named  a  certificate  to  practice 
architecture  in  this  state  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of 
this  act,  which  certificate  shall  contain  the  full  name  of  the 
applicant,  his  birthplace  and  age,  together  with  the  name  of 
the  district  board  issuing  the  certificate,  and  date  of  issuance 
thereof.  All  papers  received  by  the  secretary  of  state  on 
application  for  certificate  shall  be  kept  on  file  in  his  office, 
and  a  proper  index  and  record  thereof  shall  be  kept  by  him. 

4.  Any  architect  in  good  standing,  who  shall  show  to  the 
satisfaction  of  the  district  board  of  the  district  in  which  such 
architect  may  reside,  that  he  was  engaged  in  the  practice  of 
the  profession  of  architecture  on  the  date  of  the  passage  of 
this  act,  shall  be  granted  a  certificate  without  passing  an 
examination,  on  the  payment  to  the  district  board  of  a  fee  of 
five  dollars ;  provided,  such  application  shall  be  made  within 
six  months  from  and  after  the  passage  of  this  act.     Said 
certificate  shall  set  forth  the  fact  that  the  person  to  whom 
the  same  was  issued  was  practicing  architecture  in  this  state 
at  the  time  of  the  passage  of  this  act,  and  that  the  person 
therein  named  is  entitled  to  a  certificate  to  practice  architec- 
ture without  having  to  pass  an  examination  by  the  district 
board ;  and  the  secretary  of  state  shall,  upon  the  payment  to 
him  of  a  fee  of  five  dollars,  issue  to  the  person  named  therein 
a  certificate  to  practice  architecture  in  this  state,  in  accord- 
ance   with    the    provisions    of    this    act.     Each    certificated 
architect  shall  have  his  certificate  recorded  in  the  office  of 
the  county  recorder,  in  each  and  every  county  in  this  state, 
in  which  the  holder  thereof  shall  practice,  and  he  shall  pay 
to  the  recorder  the  same  fee  as  is  charged  for  the  recording 
of  deeds.     A  failure  to  have  his  certificate  so  recorded  shall 
be  deemed  sufficient  cause  for  revocation  of  such  certificate. 

5.  After  the  expiration  of  six  months  from  the  passage  of 
this  act,  it  shall  be  unlawful,  and  it  shall  be  a  misdemeanor, 
punishable  by  fine  of  not  less  than  fifty  dollars  nor  more 
than  five  hundred  dollars,  for  any  person  to  practice  architec- 
ture without  a  certificate  in  this  state,  or  to  advertise,  or  put 
out  any  sign  or  card,  or  other  device  which  might  indicate 
to  the  public  that  he  was  an  architect ;  provided,  that  nothing 
in  this  act  shall  prevent  any  person  from  making  plans  for 
his  own  buildings,  nor  furnishing  plans  or  other  data  for 


buildings  for  other  persons,  provided  the  person  so  furnish- 
ing such  plans  or  data  shall  fully  inform  the  person  for 
whom  such  plans  or  data  are  furnished,  that  he,  the  person 
furnishing  such  plans,  is  not  a  certificated  architect ;  pro- 
vided, that  nothing  in  this  act  shall  prevent  the  employment 
of  an  architect  residing  out  of  the  State  of  California  to  pre- 
pare plans  and  specifications  for  buildings  or  other  structures 
within  the  state,  conditioned  he  shall  present  satisfactory 
evidence  to  the  board  of  the  district  in  which  the  structure 
is  to  be  erected  that  he  is  a  competent  architect,  when  such 
board  shall  issue  to  such  architect  a  temporary  certificate  for 
such  employment,  upon  the  payment  of  a  fee  of  five  dollars. 
Architects'  certificates  issued  in  accordance  with  the  pro- 
visions of  this  act  shall  remain  in  full  force  until  revoked 
for  cause,  as  hereinafter  provided  for  in  this  act.  A  certifi- 
cate may  be  revoked  for  dishonest  practices,  or  for  gross 
incompetency  in  the  practice  of  the  profession,  which  ques- 
tions shall  be  determined  by  the  district  board  of  the  district 
in  which  the  person  whose  certificate  is  called  in  question 
shall  reside,  or  shall  be  doing  business;  and  upon  a  full 
investigation  of  the  charges  by  the  district  board,  an  oppor- 
tunity having  been  given  the  accused  to  be  heard  in  his  own 
defense  or  by  counsel ;  and  upon  the  verdict  of  at  least  four 
members  of  the  district  board,  the  board  may  issue  its  certifi- 
cate to  the  secretary  of  state  revoking  the  certificate  of  the 
person  accused;  and  the  secretary  of  state  shall  thereupon 
cancel  such  certificate.  And  on  the  cancellation  of  such  cer- 
tificate, it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  secretary  of  the  district 
board  to  give  notice  of  such  cancellation  to  the  county 
recorder  of  each  county  in  this  state,  whereupon  the  recorder 
shall  mark  the  certificate  recorded  in  his  office  "Canceled." 

After  the  expiration  of  six  months  the  person  whose  cer- 
tificate was  revoked  may  have  a  new  certificate  issued  to  him 
by  the  secretary  of  state  upon  the  certificate  of  the  district 
board  by  which  the  certificate  was  revoked. 

Every  certificated  architect  shall  have  a  seal,  the  impres- 
sion of  which  must  contain  the  name  of  the  architect,  his 
place  of  business,  and  the  words  "Certificated  architect," 
with  which  he  may  stamp  all  plans  prepared  by  him. 

6.  This  act  shall  take  effect  from  and  after  its  passage. 

7.  Each  regularly  certificated  architect  shall  pay  an  annual 
license  fee  of  five  dollars,  said  fee  to  be  paid  to  the  secretary 
of  the  board  of  the  district  of  which  he  shall  be  a  resident, 
and  shall  be  payable  in  advance  on  January  1,  and  shall 
become  delinquent  the  first  day  of  April,  of  each  year,  after 
which  date  it  shall  be  delinquent,  and  the  certificate  of  such 
architects  who  shall  fail  to  pay  their  license  fees  by  April  1 
of  each  year,  shall  be  subject  to  cancellation  by  said  district 
board,  and  notice  of  such  cancellation  shall  be  sent  to  each 
county  recorder  of  the  State  of  California  and  to  the  secre- 
tary of  state  as  provided  in  section  5  of  the  act  to  regulate 
the  practice  of  architecture,  approved  March  23,  1901,  for 
cancellation  of  certificates.     And  the  secretary  of  the  said 
district  shall   issue   a  receipt  signed  by   the   president   and 
secretary  of  the  district,  and  under  the  seal  of  the  district 
board,  to  each  architect  paying  said  license  fee,  showing  that 
said  certificated  architect  has  paid  his  annual   license  fee, 
which  license  receipt  shall  be  displayed  in  a  prominent  place 
in  the  office  of  said  architect.     The  fees  so  collected  shall  be 
used  to  meet  the  expenses  of  the  state  board  of  architecture. 
(New    section    approved    March    26,    1903,    Statutes    1903, 
p.  522.     In  effect  immediately.)
